This handbook teaches the use of PDF in communication and archiving of complex documents, with a specific slant towards engineering disciplines and related areas of architecture and construction management. The text demonstrates how better document control reduces project review and approval times, and smoothes interaction with clients and regulatory agencies by employing a completely searchable document format which is available to all. The author explains and illustrates the application of Acrobat techniques by following the progress of a sample project throughout the book, and end-of-chapter exercises promote self-instruction.
